The Truth about the GOP

Yes, that's right, they're DAMN DIRTY SKRULLS!



Now if only I could find a photo with the true face of a Mr. George Dubbya Bush, we could expose them for the shapeshifting aliens they really are. This explains so many things, such as why McCain's arms are so short (botched genetic code during shifting), why Palin's hair is always so impeccable and why G.W.B. is hellbent on world domination.

Fresh Wheels

This Saturday my wife and I had planned on having a nice dinner, doing some minor shopping and maybe checking out the Toyota dealership to see what prices on FJ Cruisers were looking like. By some strange twist of fate we ended up trading in our Chevy HHR and driving home in a brand new Mazda CX-9. I know, it makes complete sense doesn't it?

The details of this transaction are too varoius and sundry to list here, but the skinny of it is we got into this newer, much larger vehicle for roughly the same payment we've had on the HHR for three years now. Although this is not what I expected to be driving right now, I'm very happy with our purchase and I think it'll be a great car for our family. The CX-9 is huge, seats up to seven people, has AWD and drives great for such a large vehicle (it's bigger than our Ford Explorer).

Here are few pics of the new ride. And for the record, my wife said we could get a sports car for our next vehicle. I'm holding her to it!

Fringe: Getting better but...

Last time we were together I posted my issues with J.J. Abrams new show, Fringe. However, I did state I'd give the show another chance to win me over and the last two episodes have been a marked improvement. This weeks episode has finally added some truly mysterious and ominous details to the Pattern with the introduction of the new character The Observer and his ties to the Bishop family. I'm hoping this is part of the overall mythology of the show and will continue to creep up in future episodes.

This being said, I dig the addition of the new character, but he's just a tad too much like the Marvel Comics character The Watcher. Let's run down the similarities. Alien character tasked with watching the lives of Earthlings? Check. Possessing a code of non-interference but still can't help meddling? Check. Creepy bald dude with no eyebrows? Check.

Ok, I know the idea of a supernatural or alien being observing Earth is nothing new in science fiction. Marvel's Watcher is a throwback to 1950's sci-fi. Fringe is obviously very conscious of it's old school roots as well. I hope that Abrams can be a bit more subtle with his mixing and matching of all things sci-fi as we build the mythology of this show. But if we see a new character named Herald of Galaxius I'm going to lose it.
